The Female Celebrity Transmigrated into the Daughter of Her Arch Nemesis
Chapter 38

During lunch today, each father prepared a dish. Now, babies, please choose from among all the dishes the one you think was made by your own father.

The baby who guesses correctly will win a small gift package for their father to help with rice planting this afternoon!

As soon as she said this, the eyes of several fathers instantly lit up. After working hard this morning, they had truly experienced the pain of working in the fields. With some help, it would definitely be much easier.

"Son, whether or not your dad can relax these next few days depends on you!" Fan Hongru immediately cheered his son on.

The other fathers also encouraged their own children, of course - the dads were abiding by the rules of the game and had no intention of cheating.

With this, all the kids got excited, except Ji Ruochu. They all became much more attentive, some even picked up their chopsticks to taste the dishes again.

"This must be what my dad made!" Lin Xindi said, pointing at the empty plate that had held braised pork ribs. "This is my dad's specialty!"

As soon as she said this, a smile spread across Lin Yian's face. The answer was obvious.

"I think my dad made this soup," said Mao Ziqing.

"Why do you think so?" asked Xu Chuan.

"Because it's delicious!" Something this tasty must have been made by Dad!

Everyone laughed when they heard this. Mao Zhu also smiled.

"Then I choose this one," said Fan Jin, pointing at the braised fish. "My mom's favorite is braised fish, and my dad only makes this one dish well!"

Fan Hongru: ...Yet another moment of being backstabbed by my son.

"I think my dad stir-fried this spinach," said Geng Zhenzhen.

"W-"

Xu Chuan's question was interrupted by a soft cry.

"No, my dad made that! Zhenzhen sister, pick something else, or else your dad won't get a gift package!"

Everyone: ??

"Ruochu, why are you so sure?" Everyone's gaze instantly turned to the sleepy-eyed little one.

"Because..." Ji Ruochu yawned cutely. "The other dishes are too hard, my dad...can't cook them well!"

Before she could finish speaking, the little one succumbed to sleepiness and fell asleep in her father's arms.

Ji Mochen, who just a second ago was grinning like a silly monkey because he and his daughter were so in sync: ......

Everyone: Haha!

Geng Zhenzhen thought about it and felt Ruochu's reasoning made a lot of sense. She changed her answer to the fried tofu and pork dish instead.

"Alright, now I will announce the results!" said Xu Chuan with a smile. He pointed at the ribs. "Congratulations to Lin Xindi for guessing correctly!"

"Yay!"

"Now, did Mao Ziqing guess correctly...?"

Xu Chuan's voice really was quite nice. In this sort of atmosphere, it had a soothing, hypnotic effect that lulled Ruochu into an even deeper sleep.

It wasn't until Ji Mochen carried her inside and put her in bed that she blearily opened her eyes. Though she had the mind of an adult, a four-year-old's energy is limited.

Plus, over the years, she had focused on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and regular sleep schedule - her biological clock was right on point. When it was time to sleep, she slept.

Just like now. Though she had woken up a bit, her mind was still fuzzy. In a muddled state, she asked: "Did I...guess right...?"

Seeing his daughter be so adorable once again, Ji Mochen quickly patted her back to soothe her to sleep. "You guessed right, you guessed right. Our Ruochu is so amazing! Go to sleep..."

"Mm..." came the childish murmur as she sprawled out every which way. "I'm so...awesome...zzz..."

As the little one fell asleep, the bullet screen chat exploded with excitement again. Many were frantically taking screenshots - in just a few minutes, Ruochu's collection of expression packs expanded greatly.

[Ruochu's Law: Sleep when tired, but must answer questions correctly!]

[Hmph~ I'm so awesome.JPG]

[Look, this is the empire Ruochu won for you.JPG]

...

After making sure his daughter was sound asleep, Ji Mochen went out to the yard to clean up the pots and dishes. Lin Yian and Mao Zhu had already taken the four children back to rest, while Geng Ming and Fan Hongru stayed behind to help Ji Mochen tidy up.

Clearly these grown men were used to doing housework at home - they worked very efficiently, and the yard was soon restored to its original tidy state.

After the fathers each returned home to replace their own children, Ji Mochen brought out a rocking chair and placed it next to his daughter's bed. He rocked the chair back and forth while waving a fan up and down to help the little one sleep more comfortably.

Outside the yard, the occasional chirping of crickets could be heard. Many of the show's staff were off-shift resting, so the number of bullet screen comments had also decreased significantly, with most just saying "Good afternoon."

It felt as if time had suddenly frozen in place. The dazzling sunlight shone into the living room, and a gentle breeze blew by. This beautiful, tranquil scene made people unconsciously want to slow down as well - it was as if someone had pressed pause on the hectic pace of life for a moment.

There is no end to making money, and life is not unchanging. Learning to enjoy and relax will make life more interesting.

...

3:30pm.

The show's staff woke up the fathers and gave them new task cards. The contents were as follows:

The ingredients for lunch were hard-earned rewards from the fathers' diligent studying. The helper gift packages were won by the babies on behalf of their fathers.

As the saying goes, "You reap what you sow." From now on, each father's daily work efficiency will determine the ingredients their family can obtain, as well as the funds available to buy breakfast.

In addition, the director's team has also placed ingredients in the homes of certain villagers in Platinum Village. These will be marked with the show's logo.

The babies can explore in groups or alone, and obtain ingredients by completing tasks assigned by the villagers.

Note: The special ingredients in the villagers' homes can only be obtained by the babies completing tasks. The fathers cannot participate.

After reading the task card, Ji Mochen had just finished tying his daughter's hair into two little braided buns. The style was simple, but the bell hair ties at the ends of her braids were really cute and matched the lively fox eyes of the little one.

"My dear, go play with your brothers and sisters later. We won't do those ingredient tasks, okay?" Ji Mochen handed his daughter a milk bottle filled with honey water and instructed her worriedly.

"Okay." Ji Ruochu nodded and took a sip of the honey water. "Dad, do your best."

"Oh!" Ji felt his whole body fill with strength, as if instead of going to plant rice, he was going to save the world.

Ji Mochen: I'm one step closer to becoming my daughter's legendary hero!
